1997 Dodge Intrepid ES 4dr Sedan

Review

I have had this car for 5-1/2 years
and drove it off the showroom floor.
As the salesman told me "you can't
beat the package for the money and
can't find the same in another make".
I would say he was correct. The car
has performed and required little more
than routine oil changes. The computer
had to be reprogrammed once because
the A/C would malfunction but that was
done two years ago and its been fine.
The only other item for repair was a
speed sensor that affected the
transmission shifting. These have been
the only "repair" issues on this car
period. I cannot say enough good
things about it.

Favorite Features

Sporty Look for its size. Excellent
paint job. Durable interior. Big space
for leg room in front and rear. A HUGE
trunk that can hold 5 sets of golf
clubs. Excellent gas mileage as well,
both city and road. I've actually
gotten almost 30 on the road.

Suggested Improvements

Access to the "cigarette plug" for
cell phone cord is not good when in
park, it can be done its just
difficult. Memory seat for driver
would be good improvement and also
adjustable lumbar support would be
good. Everything else could be
duplicated in the next series.
